Remenber the 1983 draft, R.Sampson is the future, the number 1. Taller than 7ft, the guy has the softness of a guard and fly like Drexler. Sampson was supposed to form with Hakeem Olajuwon the first twin towers, the original before Tim Duncan and Robinson, before his knees vanished.
But history can be cruel and has a tendancy to repeat. Oden is suppose to form a tremedous pair with Aldridge. Thus we can only hope that Oden will not be the next "no knees Sampson". And as I said history is a cycle including the recent one of Amare Stoudemire. Oden is young, strong, even if he looks like my grand'pa, and intelligent. So expect him to work on his offensive game. However Aldridge will be a focus point in attack after a strong summer league with the addition of the skilled Fernandez, who is playing actually in spain for a birth in the next olympics. Portland has a nice young core to build around and wait and see this year. In fact, what will be the situation in one year? Oden is the face of the franchise. And with only the limit is the sky for Lamarcus Aldridge, how will be the status in the team... A future clash Marion#Stoudemire or "I get off the bus" like Tracy Mc Grady did in Toronto. The days of the twin towers seems to be far away...
